- the etching stops at the insulative material 26 or just into the BEOL wiring 24 .
- the trenches 18 have a unique shape due to the way that the trenches 18 are formed.
- the openings of the trenches 18 at the BEOL side and at the nitride 62 are wider than in the center of the trench 18 . This is because when trench 18 was first formed as shown as trench 16 in FIG. 2 , the top of the trench 18 ( 16 ) is wider due to the RIE process.
- the opening of the trench 18 by the nitride 62 also becomes wider.

- the insulative spacer 66 may be formed by a process such as filling the trench 18 with an insulative material such as an oxide and then etching out the insulative material by a process such as RIE.
- the etching of trench 18 continues as shown in FIG. 11 by a process, such as RIE, which is selective to the metal wirings 28 in BEOL wiring 24 and metal wirings 46 in BEOL wiring 42 .
- the metal wirings 28 , 46 are typically copper.
- the etching continues until pads 34 in BEOL wiring 24 and pads 54 in BEOL wiring 42 are exposed. It can be seen that the gap 32 in BEOL wiring 24 is desirable to allow for the etching of insulative material 26 , 44 down to the pads 34 , 54 .
- an electrically conductive material 68 has been added to the trench 18 to complete the formation of the through silicon via.
- the electrically conductive material 68 is preferably copper though other metallurgies such as tungsten are also possible. If copper is the electrically insulative material 68 , there should be a barrier layer such as a tantalum nitride layer between the electrically conductive material 68 and insulative spacer 66 . This barrier layer is omitted for clarity.
- the through silicon via thus formed simultaneously connects both pad 34 of BEOL wiring 24 and pad 54 of BEOL wiring 42 .
- FIG. 12 also shows the unique shape of the completed through silicon via.
Abstract
Description
- This non-provisional application claims the benefit of the provisional application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office as Ser. No. 61/149,529 entitled “A Method Of Making 3D Integrated Circuits And Structure Formed Thereby” filed Feb. 3, 2009.
- The present invention relates generally to three dimensional (3D) integrated circuits, and more particularly to 3D integrated circuits with through silicon vias.
- Since the invention of the integrated circuit, the semiconductor industry has experienced continual rapid growth due to continuous improvements in the integration density of various electronic components (i.e., transistors, diodes, resistors, capacitors, etc.). For the most part, this improvement in integration density has come from repeated reductions in minimum feature size, allowing for the integration of more components into a given area.
- These integration improvements are essentially two-dimensional (2D) in nature, in that the volume occupied by the integrated components is essentially on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Although dramatic improvements in lithography have resulted in considerable improvements in 2D integrated circuit formation, there are physical limits to the density that can be achieved in two dimensions. One of these limits is the minimum size needed to make these components. Also, when more devices are put into one chip, more complex designs are required.
- An additional limitation comes from the significant increase in the number and length of interconnections between devices as the number of devices increases. When the number and length of interconnections increase, both circuit resistance-capacitance (RC) delay and power consumption increase.
- Three-dimensional integrated circuits are therefore created to resolve the above-discussed limitations. In a typical formation process of 3D integrated circuits, two wafers, each including an integrated circuit, are formed. The wafers are then bonded with the devices aligned. Deep vias are then formed to interconnect devices on the first and second wafers.
- Much higher device density has been achieved using 3D integrated circuit technology. As a result, the total wire length is significantly reduced. The number of vias is also reduced. Accordingly, 3D integrated circuit technology has the potential of being the mainstream technology of the next generation.
- Various 3D integrated circuits have been proposed by Chan et al. U.S. Application Publication 2005/0067620, Enquist et al. U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0037379, Chen et al.

No. 6,821,826 disclose the necessity of forming two vias to connect the wiring on joined integrated circuits. Endquist et al. U.S. Patent Application Publication 2007/0037379 and the Burns et al. paper disclose the formation of through vias that connect two levels of metal wherein the vias are formed through the silicon after the wafers are bonded.

- a first integrated circuit having a connection pad mechanically and electrically joined to a second integrated circuit having a connection pad and a single metal-filled via making simultaneous connection with the first integrated circuit connection pad and the second integrated circuit connection pad wherein the single via has a center portion, two ends and a width which is narrower in the center portion than at the two ends.
- The features of the invention believed to be novel and the elements characteristic of the invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The Figures are for illustration purposes only and are not drawn to scale. The invention itself, however, both as to organization and method of operation, may best be understood by reference to the detailed description which follows taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIGS. 1 to 12 are cross sectional views illustrating the various process steps in forming a 3D integrated circuit according to the present invention.FIG. 12 is a cross sectional view illustrating the final structure achieved according to the present invention. - When semiconductor chips or integrated circuits (hereafter referred to as just “integrated circuits”) are joined to form a 3D structure, it is necessary to form vias through the semiconductor wafer to make the various connections between integrated circuits. These through silicon vias may be made on each integrated circuit before the integrated circuits are joined in a so-called through-silicon-first process. Alternatively, these through silicon vias may be made after the integrated circuits are joined in a so-called through-silicon-last process. The through-silicon-last process has an advantage of better connectivity over through-silicon-first but the through-silicon-last process also increases the difficulty in aligning through silicon vias to top and bottom semiconductor wafers simultaneously. The present invention relates to an improved process and structure for forming through silicon vias in a through-silicon-last process.
- Referring now to the drawings in more detail, and particularly referring to
FIG. 1 , there is illustrated afirst semiconductor wafer 10 having ahardmask 12 having patternedopenings 14 for forming the trenches for the through silicon vias. The semiconductor material useful for the present invention is any semiconductor material including but not limited to group IV semiconductors such as silicon, silicon germanium, or germanium, a III-V compound semiconductor, or a II-VI compound semiconductor. - Referring now to
FIG. 2 , thepattern openings 14 in thehardmask 12 have been driven into thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 by a conventional reactive ion etching (RIE) process to formtrenches 16 in thefirst semiconductor wafer 10. It is noted that thetrenches 16 do not extend entirely through thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 due to the difficulty of reactive ion etching through the entire thickness of thefirst semiconductor wafer 10. - Referring now to
FIG. 3 , thetrenches 16 are filled with aninsulative material 18 such as an oxide. Thehardmask 12 is then stripped. Alternatively, it should be understood that thehardmask 12 may be stripped prior to filling thetrenches 16 withinsulative material 18. It is desirable to then recess or etch back by RIE or wet etch theinsulative material 18 as indicated byreference number 20. Etching back is an optional process step which may be desirable to remove any surface damage and any level variation. -
Devices 22 and back end of the line (BEOL)wiring 24 are then added according to conventional practice as shown inFIG. 4 . TheBEOL wiring 24 typically includes aninsulative material 26, such as an oxide, andvarious wiring layers 28 which are well known to those skilled in the art. TheBEOL wiring 24 has been aligned with respect to the filledtrenches 18. By aligned, it is meant that there aregaps 32 in theBEOL wiring 24 which will allow the passage of a through via to join with a second semiconductor wafer to be discussed hereafter. In addition, theBEOL wiring 24 hascertain pads 34 which protrude into thegap 32 for connection to the through via to be discussed hereafter. - It may be desirable to add a thin (1-2 micron) layer of
insulative material 30, such as an oxide, on top ofBEOL wiring 24 as shown inFIG. 5 . It is preferred thatinsulative material 30 is present to passivate theBEOL wiring 24 and so it will be shown in the remainder of the Figures. - Referring now to
FIG. 6 , there is shown asecond semiconductor wafer 40 which is to be joined to thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 previously shown inFIGS. 1 to 5 .Second semiconductor wafer 40, similarly to thefirst semiconductor wafer 10, hasBEOL wiring 42 which includes aninsulative material 44, such as an oxide, and various wiring layers 46. Preferably, thesecond semiconductor wafer 40 also contains a thin (1-2 micron) layer ofinsulative material 48, such as an oxide, for the same reason as indicated above. Thesecond semiconductor wafer 40 will also containdevices 50. - Referring now to
FIG. 7 , thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 has been flipped over and bonded tosecond semiconductor wafer 40 as indicated bybond line 52. In one preferred bonding process, the facing surfaces are cleaned, pressed together and then annealed at 300-500° C. It is important that the regions where the through vias penetrate is insulating. In other areas, metal-to-metal bonding could be used, as well as oxide-to-oxide or adhesive bonding. As can be seen, thesemiconductor wafers semiconductor wafers first semiconductor wafer 10 has been aligned withsecond semiconductor wafer 40 so that the filledtrenches 18 align withlanding pads 54 of thesecond semiconductor wafer 40. In one preferred method of alignment, infrared light is used to see through thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 and find the alignment marks (not shown) forlanding pads 54 on thesecond semiconductor wafer 40. - It was noted previously that the
trenches 18 do not extend all the way through thefirst semiconductor wafer 10. The following is a description of a preferred process for making electrical connections between thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 and thesecond semiconductor wafer 40. - The backside of the
first semiconductor wafer 10 is ground down to the top of the filledtrenches 18 and then the semiconductor material is recessed by a wet etch selective to oxide as indicated by 60. Thereafter,nitride 62 is blanket deposited followed by a blanket deposition ofpolysilicon 64.Polysilicon 64 is preferred because it is easy to remove. Materials other than oxides or nitrides could also be used in place of thepolysilicon 64. Preferably, thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 is planarized by a process such as chemical-mechanical polishing stopping on thenitride 62. The structure thus far is illustrated inFIG. 8 . - Referring now to
FIG. 9 , thenitride 62 has been etched and then thetrenches 18 have been etched by a process such as RIE. The etching stops at theinsulative material 26 or just into theBEOL wiring 24. Thetrenches 18 have a unique shape due to the way that thetrenches 18 are formed. The openings of thetrenches 18 at the BEOL side and at thenitride 62 are wider than in the center of thetrench 18. This is because whentrench 18 was first formed as shown astrench 16 inFIG. 2 , the top of the trench 18 (16) is wider due to the RIE process. When thefirst semiconductor wafer 10 is flipped over and RIEed from the other side, then the opening of thetrench 18 by thenitride 62 also becomes wider. - An
insulative spacer 66 is then formed on the walls of thetrench 18 as shown inFIG. 10 . Theinsulative spacer 66 may be formed by a process such as filling thetrench 18 with an insulative material such as an oxide and then etching out the insulative material by a process such as RIE. - The etching of
trench 18 continues as shown inFIG. 11 by a process, such as RIE, which is selective to themetal wirings 28 inBEOL wiring 24 andmetal wirings 46 inBEOL wiring 42. The metal wirings 28, 46 are typically copper. The etching continues untilpads 34 inBEOL wiring 24 andpads 54 inBEOL wiring 42 are exposed. It can be seen that thegap 32 inBEOL wiring 24 is desirable to allow for the etching ofinsulative material pads - Referring now to
FIG. 12 , an electricallyconductive material 68 has been added to thetrench 18 to complete the formation of the through silicon via. The electricallyconductive material 68 is preferably copper though other metallurgies such as tungsten are also possible. If copper is theelectrically insulative material 68, there should be a barrier layer such as a tantalum nitride layer between the electricallyconductive material 68 andinsulative spacer 66. This barrier layer is omitted for clarity. The through silicon via thus formed simultaneously connects bothpad 34 ofBEOL wiring 24 andpad 54 ofBEOL wiring 42.FIG. 12 also shows the unique shape of the completed through silicon via. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art having regard to this disclosure that other modifications of this invention beyond those embodiments specifically described here may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. Accordingly, such modifications are considered within the scope of the invention as limited solely by the appended claims.
